Just metres from the Semaphore South shoreline, this stone-fronted bungalow brings together the character of its era with an easy, relaxed way of living by the coast.

Set on approximately 557sqm and framed by a traditional verandah, the sandstone façade, leadlight windows and timber front door give the home an immediate sense of character. Inside, a wide central hallway, polished timber floors, high ceilings and original details continue the story.

There are three generous bedrooms, each with its own fireplace, built-in storage, ceiling fan and split-system air conditioning. High ceilings and original features retain the warmth and character of the home’s era.

At the rear, the kitchen, dining and living areas come together in one comfortable, open space. A gas log fire adds warmth through winter, while the kitchen offers plenty of preparation space, white cabinetry, a freestanding cooker and Miele dishwasher.

Large windows look across the rear garden, bringing in natural light and a view of the established peppercorn tree beyond. Its broad canopy provides welcome shade from the western sun and gives the garden a lovely sense of privacy.

From here, the living space opens onto an expansive timber deck — a natural spot for long lunches, family dinners outside or an evening drink after a day at the beach. Beyond, the lawn provides plenty of room for children and pets, with the peppercorn tree creating a beautiful, shaded place to spend time outdoors.

There is also plenty of practicality beyond the main home, with an outdoor laundry, separate WC, detached double garage/shed, additional storage and a separate air-conditioned study. Whether used for working from home, creative pursuits or simply as a quiet space away from the main living areas, it adds another useful dimension to the property.

Comfortable and well presented as it stands, the home also offers scope to evolve over time.

And then there is the location. The shoreline and Esplanade walking trails are just metres away, with Semaphore Road’s cafés, shops and bars, the foreshore and nearby train connections all within easy reach.

A character home with a proper backyard, flexible extra space and the coast at the end of the street — 11 William Street offers a lifestyle that feels relaxed, practical and very connected to its surroundings.
